"Is there something that literally drives you berserk? Makes you lose control 100%?"

"If not... what are some good general conversation topics for people in the Nexus?"

Quint fidgets and shrugs before admitting, "If I'm in a fight I don't want to be in. Against someone I don't want to hurt. I used to just blank out when that would happen. It hasn't happened in a while now, and I think it was just some sort of wierd programming glitch anyway. I have a lot of those."

"People talk about a lot of different things here, from serious stuff to asking everyone what their favorite ice cream is."

"So if you were fighting your friends, you couldn't control yourself? That's gotta be tough."

"Yeah. Or someone I didn't want to fight because they just didn't deserve it. But if I had orders, I had to. So it's like the part of me that couldn't do it would shut down until it was over." He shivers.

"It hasn't happened in a while, but I haven't been in a lot of fights in a long time. I'm hoping it's gone, though. It's something I've tried to fix, because of how dangerous it is."

"Hopefully it is. It doesn't sound like anything anyone should have to deal with."

"I think it might have helped keep me sane before. I know there are things I've done that I'm glad I don't actually remember doing. But I don't have to take orders from the person responsible for those things now, so it's not something I need any more."

"I've practiced a lot to get rid of it. Sparring with people I wouldn't want to hurt. Usually just that would be enough to set it off, but it doesn't now. I hope I'll be able to keep control in a real fight. I might have to find out soon."

"I'm Quint, what's your name?"

"I hope things work out then. I'm Mikimo. Nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, Mikimo."
